How the allotment started...

Dave has just sent me this photo and I'm stunned at how much has been done over the past 2 and a half years! Photo was taken on the 26th Feb 2005. Even the neighbours have an improved plot! Brambles at the back have been cut down once since I've been working on plot 21 but they still come back thick and fast! Makes you realise how much work was put in through the bitterly cold winters digging and the blistering heat of picking produce.

The 3 Allotmenteers!

We are 3 allotment gardeners from Yorkshire (Dave), Ireland (Karl) & Cheshire (Nicole) on a Welsh plot (Cardiff). The allotment started as a plot in Pontcanna where Dave and Karl began vegetable gardening. The plot was eventually moved to Roath and whilst Dave moved to Bristol, I came to the scene at the beginning of 2006 to dig the daunting looking plot with Karl. Dave came back in 2007 and all 3 of us now tend to the land.This is our blog since 2006.
